Fishing was still fair in the shallow water last night and so far today Perch are being caught in the Tullibee Hole.   Weather is perfect up here today.  Just going out to set up the weigh-in station for the  TWP Tournament.  I’ll post results later.

Keep a Tight Line!!

Yesterday fishing was slow but last night the shallow water took off again when the barometer started dropping.  One customer in 14 feet said he had to pull his lines up to get some sleep.  He was catching too many 25-27″ Walleyes.  ( What a problem to have….)  I really think the last Walleye weekend is going to be good with this weather.   Our TWP Tournament is tomorrow from 7:00 to 5:00.  All contestants must sign in at the office, verify or pick up their ticket before fishing.  That can be done today until 9:00p.m or Saturday a.m. Office will be open at 5:00a.m.  With the weather forecasted we will be having the weigh-in at the “Tundra” Junction on the ice.  Weigh-in starts at 2:00p.m. and all fish weighed must be according to MN Regulations, and ALIVE.    $6000.00 in prizes will be given out immediately after 5:00p.m.   Their will be 4 big fish cash prizes in each category of $100.00 plus a “custom ” jig rod, and the rest will be door prizes by ticket number.  You will need to be present to win.

Attention Private Owners!!  Everyone must get up here and get their house ready to pull this weekend.   We have them all plowed into and will be starting Sunday a.m. to get them in.  We are going to try and get as many in before the next snow on Monday-Tuesday.  If you can’t make it you should call the office so we know which ones we have to get ready on our end.

Yesterday with the high barometer it was a tough bite for most out there.   There are some big Perch out in the “Tullibee Hole” but reports yesterday that it was a tough bite also. Also yesterday the Graveyard Reef  had big Pike and numerous Muskie sightings so there nothing else out there.   I would expect as the weather moves thru the next few days we should have some pretty fishing.

Private house owners:  you need to be here this weekend and have you house ready to pull Sunday when you leave.  (That means shoveled out, up on blocks and not froze in, ready to go inside.) It sounds like we are going to have some pretty active weather next week and I want them in the storage lot ASAP.    If we have to get it ready it will cost you extra.

TWP contest participants:    All ticket holders/contestants will HAVE TO REGISTER in the office, either Friday or Saturday morning before the contest starts.  More detailed info on the tournament will be available then. Contest will start @ 7:00a.m. Saturday and end at 5:00 p.m.   The weigh in trailer will be open @ 2:00 if you have something you want to put on the board.  All fish weighed must be ALIVE so have a way to keep them that way with you.   MN State regulations, including the special regs for Mille Lacs will apply.  There will be 4 Big Fish prizes in Perch, Walleye, Northern, and Tullibee.  Each category will be $100.00 plus a “custom” fishing rod.   All other prizes will be door prizes and picked by ticket.   You must be present at the drawings to win.  It should be a good event.
